Congratulations to all the winners and I hope you get to enjoy your gold statues at home. The Oscars has really chosen some good ones this year and I hope to get to see some other films that I haven't watched yet especially those short films. Selma was a little dragging though. I have something to say also about some gowns in the 87th Academy Awards that was held in Los Angeles but that's another story. For Birdman, you have my vote (for now) even though I love Boyhood better.
